Rock walls have been used for thousands of years to delineate property lines. As modern building techniques evolved or property is consolidated throughout the years, their importance decreases and they are abandoned. I always found it interesting when I come across a rock wall where I least expect it: What did the original property look like? Why a boundary here?
This is the 12th in a series highlighting forgotten rock walls that I have come across, usually while geocaching. The others are available at the following link:
Listing of Forgotten Rock Wall caches
I have driven by this wall so many times and thought that it needs a cache. I had to disable a cache a few days ago and still had it in the car so when I came by today, I took the opportunity to finally place the cache. Since this site is in the process of being "recycled", it is appropriate that a recycled cache should be here.
I vaguely remember a building on the site but cannot recall if it was commercial or residential. Hopefully the wall will survive the redevelopment that will eventually be here
